Urinary bladder Urinary bladder. The urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ in many animals, that collects and stores urine from the kidneys before disposal by urination. In the human the bladder is a hollow muscular, and distensible (or elastic) organ, that sits on the pelvic floor. Urine enters the bladder via the ureters and exits via the urethra. The typical human bladder will hold between 300 and 500 mL (10.14 and 16.91 fl oz) before the urge to empty occurs, but can hold considerably more.

The bladder and how it works Urine is a fluid that contains: You produce between two and three pints of urine a day. The actual amount depends on how much you eat, drink and sweat, and whether you're taking medication such as diuretics (water tablets). Urine drains from your kidneys to your bladder through tubes called ureters. Your bladder. Your bladder is the hollow muscular organ that stores your urine. It's a bit like a floppy balloon – as your bladder fills, it expands to store the urine. On average, your bladder can hold 400 to 600ml of urine for up to about five hours. The muscle in your bladder wall is called the detrusor muscle. The detrusor muscle relaxes to allow your bladder to fill. When you go to the toilet, it contracts to squeeze out urine.

Urinary bladder In humans the bladder is a hollow muscular organ situated at the base of the pelvis. Urine collects in the bladder, fed from the two ureters that connect the bladder with the kidneys. Urine leaves the bladder via the urethra, a single muscular tube which ends in an opening – the urinary meatus, where it exits the body.

- The bladder is a hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine. The pressure created when the bladder fills with urine is what causes the urge to urinate. During urination, the urine travels from the bladder and out the body through the urethra. In women, the front wall of the vagina supports the bladder. This wall can weaken or loosen with age.

I would recommend a structural examination, especially of the cervical spine and a neurological examination, all of which your internist should be able to do for starters. I would consider an MRI of the neck if any hyperreflexes in the arms, to look for disc problems and nerve root/cord problems. Such could also contribute to the headaches. Neuro exam will be important in the evaluation of these as well.

The Urinary Bladder The bladder is an organ of the urinary system, situated anteriorly in the pelvic cavity. It is hollow, highly distensible, and rounded in shape. The main function of the bladder is the collection, temporary storage, and expulsion of urine. It has a unique muscular structure, and a complex neurological control, which shall be considered in detail. Embryologically, the bladder is derived from the hindgut. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy and physiological functions of the bladder.

Practice Essentials The anatomy of the bladder forms an extraperitoneal muscular urine reservoir that lies behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvis. A normal bladder functions through a complex coordination of musculoskeletal, neurologic, and psychological functions that allow filling and emptying of the bladder contents.
